When we share information with other parts of the NHS for these purposes, we anonymise the information wherever possible. We will not share information that identifies you for any reason, unless:
•	you ask us to do so or it is reasonable to believe that this is what you would wish (e.g. when sharing information with a hospital to which we are referring you);
•	we ask and you give us permission (e.g. with social service, education services, local authorities or voluntary/private sector providers of care);
•	we have to do this by law (e.g. with the police where certain types of serious crime are involved);
•	we have special permission in law for health or research purposes or
•	we have special permission in law because the interests of the public are thought to be of greater importance than your confidentiality
